Let them have the privelege of having the checkbox "Set Windows
Password" unchecked by default. But with MS having 95% of the desktop, I
don't think your statistic is right ...

Haven't spent much time on testing this, so I'm not sure what command it
ran ... but ldapmodify works fine mostly ...

How about Thierry's Winxp box? Or did his installation die when he
resized it ;-). Otherwise, I can make you screenshots (since rdesktop
works ...), but not today ... it's definitely time to go home ...

Actually, looking at userdrake again, biggest issue is easily changing
between user and group view, and lack of extra LDAP-only attributes. I
will have to think and play a bit more  ... but I wouldn't want to see
the context menus disappear ...
